Annotation

[1] AES, RPB. Lincoln's endorsement is written on a letter from Captain Silas Crispin, ordnance officer at New York, to Messrs. S. Dingee & Co., April 1, 1862, ``In accordance with instructions received from Ordnance Department this day I have to offer you a voucher for that portion of last inspected lot of your arms. . . . As regards the balance of the lot I conceive it to be clearly my duty. . . to assess their value before issuing voucher, and as you have expressed yourself unwilling to submit to any other basis of settlement than that heretofore offered you by Maj [Peter V.] Hagner I have referred the matter to Washington for decision.'' For further developments, see Lincoln to Ripley, April 23, infra.
